Wirh the game even at 40-40, Sully Buttes’ Wesley Wittler missed a game-winning shot with five seonds on the clock but followed to get his own rebound and sink a put-back just before the final buzzer sounded, giving the Chargeers a 42-40 win over Dupree and State Class B Tournament berth.
Dupree’s Jayden Marshall led the Tiger scorers with 16 points to go along with seven rebounds.
